The Problem
-
With the changes in Apprenticeship Standards and Frameworks and the average pass rate declining, the need to apply a new approach is critical
-
The so-called new world of work also raises the "unconsidered need" for improved structured social learning and collaborative mentoring
-
Changes in working practices have reduced or removed the ability to participate in traditional "water-cooler" type learning opportunities
-
Classroom style learning has been replaced by various hybrid and online learning methods and less interaction
-
The ability to effectively evaluate the acquisition and assimilation of real learning needs a whole new approach
.
The Solution
-
To counter-balance the emergent "unconsidered needs" of the future of work, the power of connected thinking and collaborative mentoring, using the existing wisdom within own organisations needs to be elevated to a new level of priority
-
With global events placing ever-increasing pressures on L&D budgets, and ROI on learning spend becoming a real challenge, the ability to effectively mobilise cross-organisational, multi-generational mentoring has never been more important
-
The importance of increasing the effectiveness and throughput of well-equipped and knowledgeable apprentices is well-recognised by government through support grants and other apprenticeship training and development schemes
-
Multi-generational Mentoring is the perfect solution to leverage the wisdom within your organisation
Extended Lifespan Value of Learning
-
Extended lifespan learning works on the tried and trusted learning method of "watch one, do one, teach one"
-
This validates that learning has been acquired and is embedded for use and application in the future
